Rue

Hello, I'm Rue, and I'm 11 years old! Senior hounds are very special, and I am extra-special because my littermate, Katniss, is also available to adopt through Prison Greyhounds! I've heard it's quite fun to have a matching set of littermate sisters. But we are not considered a bonded pair, so no need to adopt us both (unless you really want to!).<br/><br/>Unlike my sister, I am reserved and much less confident, especially in new situations. However, I am laid back and calm. I would love to spend my days relaxing in a nice, cushy dog bed, or perhaps even on a couch. I enjoy being outside, and would also love to lie around in a yard of my own, or go for the occasional relaxed stroll around the block.<br/><br/>I get along well with other dogs, as long as they are "chill" and not so rambunctious and chaotic that it intimidates me. I have never been cat-tested or even met a cat, but most Hero Hounds are cat-tolerable. Oh, that's right! I am a Hero Hound. I'll let Prison Greyhounds explain that more below, but please know I look forward to meeting you!<br/><br/>* * * * *<br/><br/>What is a hero hound? A hero hound is a dog who has saved an untold number of other pets, all by donating blood! Many people do not realize what an important role these dogs play in veterinary care until their own pet needs a blood transfusion! The blood bank we partner with treats all of the hero hounds with special care throughout their lives, and their staff loves getting to know each dog. When dogs are no longer eligible to donate, or even if they simply don't enjoy being donors, they retire and enjoy a life of relaxation.<br/><br/>The right adopter will understand that these sweet dogs are accustomed to being treated like the heroes they are. They are able to live out their golden years as well-loved dogs at the blood bank kennel - but both the kennel staff and Prison Greyhounds believe that after so many years of helping others, these hounds have earned a retirement filled with comfy couches and their very own adopters! If you are interested in adopting a hero hound, please review the requirements below.<br/><br/>* * * * *<br/><br/>Adopters must meet the following requirements:<br/>- Live in Indiana (Western Ohio, Northern Kentucky, or Eastern Illinois may be eligible depending on location and volunteer availability to conduct a home visit)<br/>- Primary applicant(s) at least 25 years old<br/>- Live in a home (no dorms, apartments, etc. - sorry!)<br/>- Fenced yard (no invisible fences)<br/>- Willingness to keep dog on a leash whenever not in a fenced yard<br/><br/><br/>We look forward to working with you to find your new best friend!
